6 Reasons why startups need a website
If you’re thinking about having a website but you’re not sure yet, think about these six good reasons why startups need a website!
Most customers expect a website
These days almost everyone is searching for information on the internet about products or services they need. You will miss out on these customers if you don’t have a website because they will go to your competitors who have websites.
Your website is available 24/7
Even when you’re not available, your website is. Potential customers can get informed about the products or services you’re offering on your website and may even buy them.
Your website is an online brochure
You can showcase your products or services on your website by using a portfolio or image gallery and testimonials. They may convince visitors to become your customers.
Having a website saves you time and money
If you have a website, (potential) customers don’t have to call you to get informed about your products or services. They can read the information on your website. This saves you time which you can spend on e.g. creating new products or services for your business.
On the long run you also save money because after investing once in your website, you don’t have to keep investing in printed material anymore.
You can improve your customer service
By providing information related to your products or services you can improve your customer service. E.g. you can share recipes when you have a lunchroom. A FAQ page, articles or newsletters are other ways to share information and keep your customers up-to-date. If you give them information they are looking for, chances are that they will return to your website and even become a regular customer.
You can expand your business in the future
When your business is online you do not only have access to the local market, but to the international market as well. It means that going global with your business and reaching more potential customers, if you want to, can be a great opportunity!
